Creepy..... not sure if I want to flight with them again... the conditions in which workers are pressured are worse than those of pharaon's slaves.

Anybody watched the program about RyanA1r?
I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light. -
Yes I did see that. Luckily have never flown with Ryanair and never will. Their cheap fares are a myth and it usually only costs an extra 30-40 to fly with a decent airline. Plus they usually fly to out-of-the-way airports, so if you add the transit costs .....Hard Brexit now!

Missed it, but I see the CEO has placed all the communication between the production company and the airline.
Interesting reading!Comment

Intervention by the appropriate authorities over their dodgy practices should be swift and brutal.
Never flown with them, don't want to fly with them and after last night, never will fly with them.
Going direct to major airports is much easier and not much more expensive.
Never mind Ryanair, more like DodgyairComment

I love the way they charge their cabin crew £25.00 per month for the uniforms and charge £1500 for the training!
With cabin crew only getting £36.00 per return flight and working over 10 hours per shift on 3 return flights they can be only earning barely above minimum wage after all Ryanair's "deductions" !Comment

- Fast turnaround threating safety (e.g. an escape slide not having enough pressure and being ignored)
- Lax vetting and security of staff
- Dirty planes
Allegedly, of course.Hard Brexit now!

'renting' the uniform does seem a bit OTT though.Comment

To fly with a 'real' airline is usually 80 quid more or three times the price.
As to the airport location, then that is a personal thing. On both my current and previous assignment, the 'middle of nowhere' airport that FR flys to, is far more convenient than the main airport that normal airlines fly use. I am happy to fly to these airports, I just wish that a better airline did.
AIH I am currently choosing not to fly FR because it is winter. I can't risk getting bumped onto a flight in a weeks time if the airport closes due to the weather (which it has at least once).
